Fermi'S Paradox      
                          
                                          
 On Earth  (The  Planet  Where  I Live) A 
 Lot  Of Us Have Antennas  On  Our Houses 
 Or  Balconies,   We  Have   Built  Large 
 Antennas  For Larger  Bandwith,  We Have 
      Build Specialized Antennaes For     
   Specific Wavelengths (And Sent Them    
 Into  Orbit), We'Ve Built  Large As Fuck 
              Antenna Arrays              
 We'Ve Virtually Built An  Antenna With A 
          Dish As Large As Earth.         
                                          
 We'Ve Learned About  Our Position In The 
      Solar System, Our Solar Systems     
 Placement   In   The  Galaxy,   And  Our 
 Galaxys Placement In The  Local Cluster, 
 And  Our Local Clusters  Place  In The 
          Grand Scheme Of Things          
                                          
 And  We'Re  Moving  Around  The  Sun  At 
 Velocity And The Suns Moving  Around The 
 Center  Of The  Galaxy  At  Velocity And 
 The  Galaxy Is Moving  Toward  Andromeda 
    And We'Re Both Moving Anticlockwise   
 Around  The Galaxy. And We  As A Species 
 Have Learned To Take All That In Account 
                                          
 And  Despite All  This, Despite All  Our 
    (Cliche) Beaming Of Fucking Stellar   
 Radio Programmes  Out  In Fucking  Space 
 At  The  Speed  Of  Light  (Light Is Our 
  Medium! Goodspeed You, Black Emperor!), 
      Despite Ghosts Helping And The      
     Collective Consciousness Lowpass     
    Filtering, Despite Our Very Obvious   
 Beaming  Of All  Our  Secrets  In  Every 
          Direction Known To Us,          
                                          
 No      One        Has       Answered

             So Why Is That?              
                                          
 Most  Opponents To  Intelligent  Life In 
 The  Universe Say It'S Because  You Need 
 A  Class One-Or-The-Other Star  And  The 
 Planet  Needs  To  Be  At  A  See-And-So 
 Distance  Away From The Star (Like There 
           Has To Be A Planet!)           
                                          
 But  Really  Isn'T   That   Keeping  The 
      Definition Of Life Really Lax?      
                                          
 I Think Everyone Agrees That We Have  No 
 Idea What  We'Re  Doing (And It Probably 
                  Shows)
